Advanced Driving Instructors ("we") runs advanceddrivinginstructors.co.uk. This policy explains what personal information we collect and how we use it, in line with UK GDPR. Contact us about privacy at Advanceddrivinginstructor@yahoo.com.
What we collect
- Name, email address, phone number and message when you use our contact, review, photo removal or instructor interest forms.
- Details you enter in the enquiry, waiting-list or booking forms. These forms are run by Total Drive Software Ltd.
- Reviews you submit, and pass photographs only where you (or a parent or guardian) have given consent.
Why we use it
- To reply to you and arrange lessons (steps before a contract, and the contract itself).
- To take payment and keep financial records (legal obligation). Payments are handled by Total Drive and its payment provider; we never see your card details.
- To publish reviews and pass photos (consent, which you can withdraw at any time).
- To keep the website secure, for example by blocking spam (legitimate interests).
Who we share it with
Your instructor; Total Drive Software Ltd, which runs our bookings, payments, enquiries and waiting list; our website host (Namecheap); and our email provider. We do not sell your information.
How long we keep it
Website messages are kept for up to 12 months. Reviews and pass photos are kept while they are published and deleted when you withdraw consent. Records needed for accounting are kept for as long as the law requires.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or withdraw consent for photos and reviews. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
